Have you tried the Profile Switcher for Firefox add-on? It works just like the profile switcher on Chrome.

The free and open source Firefox Profile Switcher extension, paired with the connector app, adds a browser profile menu to Firefox similar to the one on Chrome.

Detect when your installed Firefox addons have changed owners

I recognize that I may be contributing to your "addons have so much power" argument, but I wanted to draw your attention to ViolentMonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> which is stellar for these site-specific customizations (known as User Scripts, of which Greasemonkey was the most famous)
If your Firefox suddenly started to hang or become extremely slow today, check if you have tampermonkey 5.0. Disable it for now as it seems to be the culprit.

Since Tampermonkey seems to be misbehaving, consider using Violentmonkey.

I have no damn idea why Tampermonkey, which as very best I can tell is closed source <https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/blob/master/REA...>, is on the "blessed" Firefox for Android list when Violentmonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> is MIT, although I readily admit doesn't it have a "politically correct" name

umm..."Introducing Tam, your helpful assistant", Tampermonkey's v4.19 opt-out (should be opt-in) 'feature'. Thoughts?

(And yes, after that I personally pivoted to Violentmonkey. Overall it's good to have a choice :)

I personally use TamperMonkey to run user-scripts and can vouch for its usefulness. Violentmonkey seems to be a popular alternative.

Toolbox is great, but if that is all you really need, here's this! You can copy and paste this as a new script to use in ViolentMonkey [AMO] or whatever script manager you use.
